Great. So now HHS has granted DOGE access to the highly sensitive child support database. [1]

I can’t even. These aren’t even real Government employees, and they have absolutely no business, under privacy laws, to be rummaging around in data bases that include highly sensitive, confidential information on nearly every worker in the US and our families, businesses, the works.
What is Kennedy thinking allowing this?
Supposedly it’s “read only,” which means anybody with a ballpoint pen, a phone camera, or who knows how to EXPORT THE DAMN DATA can have it Russia in two flicks of a mare’s tail. Or use it for blackmail purposes, to extort money or promises, or simply to make people miserable.
One person in the comments said something like this happened in Australia and it resulted in tremendous misery and even suicides, people were wrongly accused, and ultimately the whole thing was a massive failure and a lot of money had to be sent back to the people affected.
But the damage was done.
I just can’t imagine what will happen to us if these people start twisting our arms, demanding money, information, dragging people into court, disrupting our lives. Most Americans do not have the resources to fight these obnoxious bullies, in court or otherwise. They’re going to ruin a lot of lives.
They also appear to have gained access to the IRS data as well. This is outrageous.
It’s too bad, too, that when the Democrats need to be fighting this tooth and nail everybody is mad at them and won’t send money. This includes me, but now I’m wondering if this is such a smart idea.
Thoughts?
I don’t personally think we can stop this. They’re going to get their filthy paws on our most private information.
I feel like Trump and Musk and those dirty DOGE boys have their filthy disgusting mitts in my silk underwear drawer.
Ugh.
I am beyond furious about this.
